Straight No Chaser - A Jazz Show

Noted in Passing 2018

Straight No Chaser is the place for jazz lovers (and those who will soon be jazz lovers) to enjoy podcasts with their favorite music and artists. Winner of the 2017 JazzTimes Readers' Poll for Best Podcast, your host Jeffrey Siegel will take you inside the world of jazz, from the new releases to the best festiva;s to remembrances of jazz legends.

We lost a number of major talents in the jazz world this year,
but perhaps none were more of a shock than the passing of trumpeter
Roy Hargrove at the age of 49. Far too young, with way too much
music left inside him. Just last week we lost singer Nancy
Wilson.

Outside of the jazz world, people who have had an influence on
me and on my life for various reasons who died this year include
Paul Allen of Microsoft fame; Actors Harry Anderson and Burt
Reynolds; Directors Milos Forman and Stephen Bochco; AM Disc Jockey
Dan Ingram; Singers Aretha Franklin and Dolores O’Riordan;
Writers Tom Wolfe, Anita Shreve, Dr. Stephen Hawking, William
Goldman, and Neil Simon; Comic Book legend Stan Lee; and Robert
Plotnick, the owner of the former Bleecker Bob’s record store in
Greenwich Village.
